What about NATO? NATO has the military strength that the UN lacks to enforce peacekeeping missions. A multinational force also escapes the inevitable charge of self interest in any military action, as well as terrorist retribution.
I don't believe it is the responsibility of the US to respond militarily to every hot spot that arises across the globe, and the american taxpayer should not be burdened by the ever increasing need for a larger global police force.
Mogadishu is still too fresh...
